I am afraid that to invest that much in a rig that is likely to be
un-repairable, either because of the high cost or unavailability of parts,
is a poor choice. Even TenTec doesn't take in trade their older rigs. If
they could fix them they would probably be able to sell them and not have
any trouble finding willing buyers for these entry level rigs. Go figure...

Well, the Kenwood TS-120 and 130 have been selling in that price class
for a couple years. They do need an antenna tuner (like all solid state
radios) but have enough bells and whistles to be useful, but not so many
as to confuse the neophyte.
